I'm probably grabbing at straws here but here goes. This afternoon I was rudely awakened by a message on my answering machine. It was my bank calling (automated) about some possible fraudulent charges on my debit card and sure enough they were right.
The name of entity trying to withdraw $234 twice was MONZO GB which is a bank/phone app in Great Britain.
So here's the straw part, CCleaner was just sold by Piriform to Avast, Piriform is based in London.
I doubt if that's what happened but still can't stop thinking it could have been.
No money lost.

With the fallout of Equifax being hacked, they're offering 1 yr free credit monitoring/freeze.

There's a link on the main page to get to the page to enroll. You will have to give your last 6 ssn to check to see if your info was breached and address to sign up but it's mostly painless.

Interesting article, a couple months ago my pain management doctor who prescribes my pain meds told me about this oil derived from the "green plants", it contains none of the stuff that makes you "happy". She told me you can buy it over the counter or on Amazon cheaper, she said she has some who report it does help with pain and other aliments. Not knowing anything about it and thinking it would be viewed the same as the the plant itself my reaction was to stay away from it and not have it in my records it was something I was using. But now that I see you can put in ejuice or buy ejucie with it already mixed in I may just give it a try, but it looks expensive on the website link in this article. http://guidetovaping.com/2017/09/18/what-is-***-e-liquid/, (word from title removed so not to break the rules.)

6 inches away from my laptop which has a 17 Mbps connection is this box.

EDIT: Just finished coffee out in the park, now to finish post.
This was installed today but nothing is hooked to the "out" side of it as yet.
I think they will continue fiber optic from here to whatever units want to pay for it. I have no idea what the speed will be but figure 1000 Mbps.
Edit #2: after snooping around Spectrum's (TW) site it appears that residential can get up to 100 Mbps down and business 300 down. I'm not too impressed, I have Cox which run fiber to the neighborhood and then coax to the residences and it should be 600 Mbps down near the end of the year, it's 300 down now. (30+ up)

No, she did not talk about any brand names, sorry I'm not more help. I won't be seeing here again for two months so I won't be able to ask for some time.

Short story is (short as I can make it) because last month I asked the doc to reduce the amount of meds prescribed (gave up the night time morphine), for the first time in years I won't have to go every month anymore, quarterly now, use to go twice a year and get a six month script. Then in the last few years here in NY they started passing very strict laws for pain meds in hopes (or so they said) to get drugs off the streets. While the drugs on the streets continue to rise it's put an added burden of expense, monthly trips to the doc then to pick up the meds ON day 30 (think harsh winter driving) and also intrusions into lives on many levels including insulting urine testing for folks who have many years long established medical history of living with pain, mostly impacting the elderly (and those with cancer). While the goals of these laws could be debated as being justified, it does harm to a lot of folks and punishes them for something they have no part of. They could have made exceptions for those long term established folks but over and over they have not. I gave up good sleep to bring down my daily dose enough get them off my back a little bit. All this thanks to this guy.

Tibs,

Mike, While rotating in one of my 75's today a lite bulb went off. I put the 75's inside those old hanna clone boxes, got the calipers out and I found I only lack .012 on the sides (call it .015-.018 for wiggle room) for a 21700 to fit, there enough length and room for the lid to close, it's already milled with a recess. I'm thinking mill a side for the battery to slip in, cut the ends off the battery sled that hold the contacts and glue them back in and your all set.

I to am planing a 21700 in my Hanna clones
Mine have DNA60's in them & it looks like there is a ton of room
I ordered 2 of these & am hoping I can fit them in, maybe with a little moding to the sled or box.

I am going to wait it out. I want a 133/167 and I really dont want an Alpine/Hanna box, I will wait for something with a little more character, thats why I am eyeballing 3d. Its not like I am lacking for mods. Its a shame, if the ERM+ was about 3mm wider I could probably make one of those work.

As much as I hate Modcrate, they may become an option.
